Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had said in his budget speech that capital gains made by foreign investors from April 1, 2015 would be exempted from minimum alternative tax (MAT).
But the exemption does not apply retroactively and U.S. and European investor groups are upset over the Indian tax department's attempts to levy the same.
"Government will not yield to the demand of FIIs (foreign institutional investors) to withdraw tax notices issued to them," said the official, who declined to be named.
Many foreign investors have been receiving notices requesting their MAT calculations for financial year 2011/2012. The tax office has said it would also apply the tax to previous years.
